Industrial maintenance keeps machines and plants running reliably, safely and at the lowest overall cost. It moves from fixing breakdowns after they happen (corrective) to preventing them (preventive) and predicting them from measured condition (predictive). Performance is judged by reliability, maintainability, availability and safety. These are supported by good documentation, planning tools such as PERT and Pareto analysis, and monitoring techniques such as vibration analysis. The aim is "zero breakdowns" at minimum total cost.
